Why should you choose a dog cool coat from Made by De?
If you're looking for a dog cool coat, you already know why you need something like that for your dog. Now you have to decide which cool coat to buy?. You don't want to waste your money. You also want something that actually works for your dog. How do you choose?
Made just for your dog
A Made by De dog cool coat is custom-made just for your dog using your measurements and input about what your dog needs in a cool coat. You can find others, but how well will they fit your dog? If the cool coat doesn't fit right, it's not likely to be very comfortable for your dog to wear.
A coat that's custom made means that your dog will be able to move or lie down comfortably. The coat will be the right length and will not bind or be too loose so your dog doesn't have to work against it. When your dog isn't bothered by an incorrect fit, they can concentrate on being a dog.
The most effective, comfortable fabric
What's that cool coat made of?
You can find cool coats made of terry cloth, high-tech space or reflective materials, or a variety of chamois fabrics. It's important to know what the product is made of because it affects the way a cool coat works, how it feels and how it holds up to use.
Most cool coats use evaporation in one way or another since it's a proven method of cooling the air. You can feel evaporative cooling by holding your hand close to something that's wet. The air around it will be a few degrees cooler because of this natural process.
Terry cloth
- Terry cloth cool coats are soft and easy to care for. They cool using evaporation, which definitely provides cooling. However, they get heavy when they're used because they have to be wet. And they also drip, potentially making a wet mess if you're not careful.
- Another version of the terry cloth coat uses little beads that are supposed to absorb cool water and extend the cooling time of the coat. These beads usually shift and cause the coat to get lumpy in places. And if your dog chews it, the beads can be toxic or cause intestinal blockage.
High tech sources
- Some companies have started using more space-age technology for their coats. These coats don't use evaporative cooling. Instead, each one has other methods for cooling off your dog. The problem is that it's difficult to get a good fit if your dog doesn't fit the standard mold. And with that technology comes a higher price tag.
- Another approach is to use reflective fabric to deflect the sun's rays and therefore some of its heat. Deflecting the heat is somewhat effective, but it is only a partial solution. Plus, the feel of the fabric and the sound your dog hears when it's on can be unnerving for your dog.
Chamois (pronounced sham ee)
The original chamois is a sheepskin that's been tanned. This type of chamois is soft, durable, and effective. It has a downside, however, When the fabric is wet, as is needed to use evaporative cooling, it's soft and pliable. When it's dry, however, it gets stiff and brittle. This means you have to keep it damp in order to have it ready to use. If you're not careful about refrigeration, the dampness will lead to mold, leaving your chamois useless.
Automotive shops have a version that's synthetic. This fabric comes in beautiful colors and can be effective for cooling, it also gets brittle or stiff when dry. It also requires that you keep it damp to make it pliable enough to put on your dog.
Made by De uses a version of chamois that's made of 100% rayon fabric. I chose this fabric because it is washable, it doesn't get stiff when it's dry and it's durable. It also stays damp without being heavy. If you wring out the extra water, you can put it on your dog for hours of cooling while your dog stays dry underneath. These qualities make for the best cool coat, in my opinion at least.
Working with a small company
When you buy a Made by De dog cool coat, you work one on one with the maker of the coat. You can personally discuss any concerns you have, make requests and ask any questions you need to so you can be sure you're going to get the product you and your dog need.
Another benefit of working with a small company is their commitment to quality and customer service. Should you have a problem, need a special order, or wonder how to get accurate measurements, you have someone to ask directly. You do not have to flip a coin and hope.
